From what I've read in one of my veggie books, too much heat and too much water causes them not to ripen as fast as they would under normal circumstances. Cut back the water just a little bit and be patient. They will ripen.
Or if you want ripe tomatoes now, pick off a couple, put them in a brown paper bag, and this will quicken the process. You will have nice ripe tomatoes in a couple of days.
